Product Description
by Lane Koster (Author)
The purpose of this book is to show that there is another perspective on God's Creation that is a much better fit with both the teachings of the Bible, and the observations of science, than the view held by Young Earth Creationists. If you or someone you know has questions about the Bible and the age of the Earth and Universe, this book will answer many of your questions. The Bible makes it clear in Psalm 90 that God views time differently than we do. A thousand years to us is like yesterday to God, or 3 hours last night when we were asleep. Young Earth Creationists hold that the Earth is only 6000 years old, and that the Earth was created in six 24-hour days. This book presents 27 biblical and scientific reasons why this cannot be true. After God created the heavens and a not yet fully formed Earth empty of life, He took six of His days to make the Earth fully formed and full of life. According to Genesis, the heavens and the early Earth could be any age, before Day One begins. Genesis Two tells us that more happened between when God created Adam and when God brought Eve to Adam, than can fit into one day. A study of light shows it is not possible for light to reach us from distant stars and galaxies if the Universe is only 6000 years old. This challenges the Appearance of Age argument. Noah's Flood, 4500 years ago (as Young Earth Creationists claim), cannot possibly explain all the sedimentary rock, fossils, layers of ice, lake sediment layers, the Grand Canyon, and many other features we find on Earth. Then there are the Bristlecone Pine trees that are older than Creation, and grow on mountains that did not exist until after Noah's Flood. This book examines these claims, and many others, that contradict the Bible as well as other observations made here on Earth. We do well to examine these claims, so that we can be more effective in sharing the Christian Gospel with people around us.
